Tumorous calcinosis has been considered as a disease of its own. A survey of the literature shows that only its clinical and radiological appearances are universally agreed upon, while its epidemiology and etiology are still under discussion. A genetic disorder, recurrent soft-tissue microtrauma and terminal renal failure have been put forward as causes. All of them may lead to a localized or generalized disturbance of the calcium-phosphate metabolism, which in turn could produce tumorous calcinosis. Therefore, tumorous calcinosis should be regarded as a rare manifestation of a metabolic disorder rather than a disease of own.
肿瘤性钙化症一直被视为一种独立的疾病。文献调查显示，人们普遍认同的只有其临床和放射学表现，而其流行病学和病因仍在讨论之中。遗传紊乱、反复的软组织微创伤和终末期肾衰竭都被提出作为病因。所有这些都可能导致钙磷代谢的局部或全身性紊乱，进而引发肿瘤性钙化症。因此，肿瘤性钙化症应被视为一种代谢紊乱的罕见表现，而非一种独立的疾病。
